Alex 🖤

Nicole’s exams were finally over, and I could see the weight lift off her shoulders. She looked so much lighter, practically glowing, and I was thrilled to spend this newfound free time with her until graduation. We’d talked about all sorts of plans, and for today, we’d decided to indulge in a Disney movie marathon after breakfast. Everything was perfect—well, almost.

That morning, however, I woke up in an undeniably foul mood. And there was only one reason for that: my mother. She was coming over, and just the thought of it made my stomach twist with dread. My lovely mother dearest, as I sarcastically liked to call her, was making her biannual visit—a pointless exercise, considering she rarely cared about me, let alone Nicole. No, her visits were just another excuse for her to flaunt her extravagant lifestyle, usually with her latest boy toy in tow. I couldn’t remember the last time she came without one.

“Baby girl,” I said as we sat in the kitchen, having breakfast. She was munching on a slice of toast, already wearing a content smile. “My mother is coming over today.”

Her face fell slightly, her brow furrowing. “Oh,” she replied quietly, looking down at her toast as if it suddenly lost its appeal.

“Don’t worry,” I reassured her, placing a hand on hers. “You don’t have to come down to entertain her. In fact, I’d rather you stay up in your room.”

Nicole’s face softened with relief, and she nodded, a small smile returning. “I’d rather do that,” she admitted. “I just… don’t like how she sounds when you talked about her.”

I couldn’t blame her. My mother was totally a different breed, not acting like a mother but rather a college girl. “I’ll take care of her. I promise. And once she’s gone, we’ll have our movie marathon, just like we planned.”

Nicole’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Promise?”

“Promise,” I replied, squeezing her hand. “We’ll start with The Little Mermaid, your favorite.”

She gave me a happy grin and took a sip of her orange juice, looking completely at ease. I loved seeing her like this—content, carefree, safe. And I wasn’t about to let my mother ruin that.

When my mother finally arrived, she swept into the house as if she owned it, her heels clicking sharply against the floor as she tossed her designer purse onto the couch. She immediately started ordering the staff around, telling them where to put her bags and inspecting the furniture as though she was checking for dust.

“Alexander, darling!” she called out, stretching her arms towards me dramatically, her voice dripping with forced affection. “How have you been?”

I stiffened, giving her a curt nod. “Fine, mother. Welcome. And it's Alex”

“Oh, please, don’t be so stiff,” she said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “You’re so serious. You need to relax more.”

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. “Yes, well, some of us have responsibilities.”

She scoffed, waving a manicured hand dismissively. “You’re too young to worry about all that. Have fun, darling! Don’t grow old too soon.”

I ignored her comment and excused myself. “I’ll be upstairs if you need anything.” Which, honestly, I hoped she wouldn’t. I went up to my room, grateful for the silence and space away from her, and after a while, I let myself drift into a nap.

Before I settled in, I checked on Nicole to make sure she was still comfortable. I peeked into her room and found her nestled under the blankets, wearing her cozy onesie and clutching Mr. Oopa and Elle, her two most treasured stuffed animals. A pacifier rested in her mouth as she sucked on it gently in her sleep, looking completely at peace. Seeing her so content softened my mood, and I made sure she was tucked in before heading back to my room.

Two hours later, I woke up feeling a bit more refreshed. Stretching, I decided to check on Nicole. But as I walked to her room, I froze in the doorway—her bed was empty.

Panic seized me immediately. Where could she have gone? My mind raced, and I rushed down the stairs. Halfway down, I heard shouting echoing from the living room, my mother’s shrill voice cutting through the air like a knife.

I reached the bottom of the stairs, and there she was—my mother, looming over Nicole, who stood rooted to the spot, her face streaked with tears. My mother was berating her, her words dripping with disdain.

“Just look at you,” she sneered, her voice sharp. “What on earth are you wearing? Are you a child? You look ridiculous!”

Nicole’s hands were shaking as she clutched her onesie, her face flushed with embarrassment and distress. Her lip trembled, and her eyes were wide and frightened, like a deer caught in headlights.

“Stop it, please,” Nicole whispered, but my mother was relentless.

“Oh, you’re pathetic,” she continued, her voice icy. “Crying over a little criticism? How could Alex even bear to be around you, dressed like some infant?”

I could feel my blood boiling. My hands clenched into fists as I stepped closer, but it was my mother’s next action that pushed me over the edge. She reached out and grabbed Nicole’s hair, yanking at her carefully made pigtails, scattering them with a vicious twist of her wrist. Nicole let out a pained wail, the sound ripping through my chest.

That was it. I’d had enough.

“Mother!” I barked, my voice thunderous. She froze, her hand still tangled in Nicole’s hair, but she let go, startled by my tone. I strode forward, placing myself between her and my baby girl, who was scared stiff, glaring down at my mother with all the anger I’d been holding back for years.

“What on earth do you think you’re doing?” I growled.

She blinked, seemingly taken aback by my fury. “Alexander, I was just—”

“You were just what?” I spat, my voice laced with venom. “Humiliating her? Insulting her? Pulling her hair? How dare you.”

My mother’s face twisted, the forced warmth melting into something colder and uglier. “Don’t you take that tone with me, young man. I was merely pointing out—”

“I don’t care what you were pointing out,” I interrupted, my voice steady and deadly. “You had no right to speak to her that way, and you certainly had no right to lay a hand on her.”

Nicole was clutching her scattered pigtails, sniffling softly, her eyes red-rimmed as she looked up at me, seeking comfort. I placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, giving her a soft squeeze. “It’s okay, sweetheart,” I whispered, and she nodded, her tears slowly subsiding.

Turning back to my mother, I kept my voice firm. “You need to leave. Now.”

Her eyes widened in shock, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. “Alexander, you can’t possibly be serious! I’m your mother!”

“Yes, you are. And yet, you show up here only to belittle and insult the people I care about,” I said coldly. “If you can’t respect the people in my life, then I don’t want you here.”

She gaped at me, seemingly stunned into silence. After a few moments, she straightened, her face hardening with pride. “Very well, if that’s how you feel.”

“It is,” I replied without hesitation. “Goodbye, mother.”

With one last indignant huff, she stormed out, her heels clicking furiously against the floor as she left the house. The silence that followed her departure was deafening, but I felt a strange sense of relief settle over me, as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

I turned back to Nicole, who was still trembling slightly, her hands tangled in her messed-up pigtails. I knelt down in front of her, gently brushing the loose strands of hair from her face. “Nicole, are you okay?”

She sniffled, nodding slowly, though her eyes were still glassy with tears. “I… I’m okay. I just… I didn’t mean to make her angry.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong, baby girl,” I assured her softly. “She had no right to treat you like that.”

Nicole’s lip quivered, and fresh tears filled her eyes. “I… I just wanted to say hello, but she started yelling at me and… and said I looked silly.”

I hugged her gently, pulling her close and rubbing soothing circles on her back. “Don’t listen to a word she said. You’re perfect just as you are, baby girl. Don’t ever let anyone make you feel less than that.”

She clung to me, her head resting on my shoulder, and I held her until I felt the tension slowly leave her body. Finally, she pulled back, giving me a small, shy smile.

“Thank you, Daddy,” she whispered.

“Anytime,” I replied, ruffling her hair lightly before smoothing it back down. “Now, what do you say we get those pigtails fixed up and start that Disney marathon?”

Her eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly. “Yes, please!”

And just like that, her tears faded, replaced by excitement as we headed back upstairs to redo her hair. Once she was settled with her pigtails back in place and snuggled under a blanket on the couch, I popped in The Little Mermaid, and we let the joyful notes of the opening song fill the room.

After three movies and countless laughs, Nicole had finally dozed off, her exhaustion finally catching up with her. I watched her as she slept, her face soft and peaceful. The faint traces of the earlier tears were gone now, but I couldn’t shake the anger that still simmered from seeing her treated so harshly by my mother. The way Nicole had cried, her broken little sobs—it had cut straight through me. No one should ever hurt her like that.

As quietly as I could, I eased off the couch and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. Daisy was bustling around, tidying up and preparing for the evening meal. She looked up as I approached, an apologetic frown already on her face.

“I’m so sorry, Alex,” she said softly, setting down a pan. “I wasn’t around when… when your mother arrived. I didn’t know she’d gone after Nicole until I heard the yelling.”

I shook my head, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “It’s not your fault, Daisy. She’s a grown woman, and she’s responsible for her own behavior. Nicole shouldn’t have to deal with someone like that.”

Daisy sighed, nodding. “The poor dear. She deserves to be loved and treated kindly, not… not whatever that was.”

“Exactly,” I replied. “But I’ll make sure she knows that none of what my mother said matters. And… I’d like to bring dinner up to her room tonight, if that’s alright. I want her to be comfortable.”

Daisy nodded with a soft smile. “Of course. I’ll prepare a tray for you two.”

While Daisy worked on our dinner, I stayed in the kitchen, the warm, savory smells of the food helping to soothe my lingering anger. Eventually, she handed me a tray with two steaming plates, and I thanked her before heading back upstairs.

I opened the door to Nicole’s room, expecting to find her still asleep, but to my surprise, she was already awake. She was sitting up in bed, her face practically glowing as she gazed at me, her eyes round and innocent, as if she’d regressed into a younger mindset. The look of pure, childlike wonder on her face caught me off guard.

“Dada!” she squealed, a delighted giggle escaping her lips.

I felt my heart melt at the sight of her. She was beaming, that innocent, trusting smile lighting up her face as she reached out toward me. Her expression was so purely happy, with none of the pain or fear that had been there earlier. I could see she’d slipped into a littler headspace, perhaps even younger than usual, maybe around one or two years old.

“Hey, princess,” I murmured softly, setting the tray down and moving closer to the bed. “Did you have a good nap?”

Nicole nodded, still giggling, her little arms outstretched. I leaned down to give her a gentle hug, and she nuzzled into my shoulder, her warmth and softness making my chest ache with affection. She looked up at me with those bright, wide eyes, and in that moment, I’d do anything to protect her.

“Dada!” she cooed again, her voice filled with delight. She gave my cheek a sloppy kiss, giggling again. “Dada’s here!”

“Yes, I’m here,” I replied with a smile, unable to help myself from ruffling her hair gently. “And I brought us some dinner. You must be hungry.”

She nodded eagerly, her eyes lighting up at the mention of food. But as she looked down at the tray, her face scrunched up in concentration, as if trying to figure out what to do next. Her tiny hand reached for the spoon, but she fumbled slightly, her fingers not quite managing to grasp it.

“Here, sweetheart, let me help you,” I said, taking the spoon in my hand.

Nicole looked up at me, a smile blooming on her face as she clapped her hands, clearly excited to be fed. She giggled, babbling happily. “Dada feed me!”

With each spoonful I offered her, she opened her mouth wide, eagerly accepting the food and giving me a satisfied smile as she chewed. “Yummy, Dada!” she said, her voice filled with awe as if each bite was a revelation.

“Is it good, princess?” I asked, chuckling as she nodded enthusiastically, her eyes shining with happiness.

“So good, Dada! ‘S my favorite!” she replied, her voice taking on that adorable lisp that only came out when she was in her littlest mindset.

I couldn’t help but smile at her, feeling my heart swell with warmth. Feeding her was such a simple act, but it felt meaningful, grounding. She was safe here, loved here. No one would hurt her as long as I was around.

As I continued feeding her, she kept up a steady stream of happy little babbles, sharing her thoughts in fragmented, sweet phrases.

“Dada… you’re the best!” she said, her voice full of sincerity. “Dada makes me happy.”

“I’m glad, princess,” I replied softly, brushing a stray crumb from her cheek. “You make me happy too.”

She giggled, beaming up at me as if I’d just told her the most wonderful thing in the world. “Really?”

“Yes, really,” I assured her, my voice gentle. “You’re my special girl. I wouldn’t trade you for anything.”

Nicole’s smile grew even wider, her cheeks flushing with happiness. She wriggled in place, practically bouncing with joy as I fed her the last few bites of her meal.

Once she’d finished eating, I wiped her mouth with a napkin, and she leaned forward, pressing a tiny, soft kiss to my cheek. “Thank you, Dada,” she whispered, her voice filled with warmth and gratitude.

“You’re welcome, love,” I replied, brushing a gentle hand over her hair. “How about we get you all comfy, and then maybe we can watch one more movie before bedtime?”

Her eyes lit up, and she nodded enthusiastically, clapping her hands together. “Yes! Movie! Disney!”

I chuckled, standing up to grab a blanket and tucking it around her shoulders, making sure she was cozy. As I put on the next movie, she nestled into my side, her little head resting on my shoulder as her eyes focused on the screen, completely content.

As the opening song played, I glanced down at her, watching the way her eyelids began to droop. It wasn’t long before she was fast asleep again, snuggled close to me with a peaceful smile on her face. I held her gently, my heart full of love and protectiveness.

He said.I hid my face in his torso that was shaking as he laughed."Why are you hiding?" Ally asked. I shook my head still not showing my face. He was quiet for a while until I felt tickling sensations by my ribs. Ally was tickling me! Right on my weakest spot!I began to laugh pleading to him to stop. Ally finally stopped and then I realised how close our faces actually were. His lips were so very close to my parted ones. "I want to tell you something, Ally." I said moving away to place some distance between us. "I am all ears, baby girl." He replied looking at me attentively. "I am a little, Ally."I closed my eyes tight to avoid looking at him.

    Alex🖤 Few days passed and it has been the best days of my life as I got to bond with Nicole both in her little space and big self. Dad is returning home tonight meaning I won't be able to care for her anytime but still I can do so in her room or mine and it is not even like dad is around 24/7. Nicole didn't also love the idea when I told her she can't just go into little space with our dad around. That made me happy because it means that she enjoys being with me and me taking care of her. Even if he doesn't know about our relationship, I don't think he would react well to Nicole's little nature. We got ready for school and went down for breakfast. "Morning Daisy." Nicole said taking her seat. I also smiled at Daisy as she greeted us. Daisy is like a mother to me. My biological mother is just a lady that loves to live her life without any burden and by burden I meant me. Which is why I live mainly with dad and she comes to visit once in a blue moon.

That meant Nicole and I had the house to ourselves for the whole day. The moment I heard his car pull out of the drive way, I went straight to Nicole's room. She would definitely still be asleep but today I can wake my baby girl and get her ready for the day like we usually do. Opening the door quietly, I walked in and saw in asleep in bed.

Today was a school day, and I had to get ready quickly. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I pulled on my favorite outfit: a lavender dress with a fluffy skirt, paired with my purple sneakers. I twirled in front of the mirror, admiring how the dress flowed. Daddy always said I looked like a princess, and I liked that idea. Leaving my room, I walked to daddy's room and opened the door going in. He has also finished dressing. "Good morning, daddy." I smiled. "Good morning, baby girl."

    Nicole💜 The first week of exams had finally come to an end, and I felt a strange sense of relief wash over me. Four exams down—Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, and English—each one more exhausting than the last. But with each exam I finished, it felt like I was shedding a layer of stress. Now, only two more remained: History on Monday and Italian on Thursday. The thought of those still lingering made me feel a bit anxious, but at least I had time to prepare. As I sat at my desk in my room, the warm afternoon light streaming through the window, I flipped through my notes for History. I always found it fascinating—learning about the past, how societies grew, and the events that shaped the world we live in. But as much as I enjoyed it, the sheer amount of information I had to memorize was overwhelming. I sighed, setting my notes aside for a moment and stretching my arms above my head. "Okay, Nicole, focus," I muttered to myself, picking up my highlighter and going over the importa

    Alex 🖤 I leaned against the driver’s side door, watching the front of the school as students poured out, one by one. My eyes were fixed on the entrance, waiting for just one person—Nicole. I ran a hand through my hair, feeling the light breeze tousling it, but I didn’t care. The day had been long, filled with final project deadlines and last-minute tweaks, but none of that mattered now. All I could think about was seeing her. When she finally emerged, I felt a warmth spread through my chest, chasing away the exhaustion that had clung to me all day. There she was, walking toward me with that soft, familiar smile. Her long hair swayed gently as she approached, and I could see the relief in her eyes—she had survived the chemistry exam. I knew how much she had been dreading it, and I couldn’t help but feel proud of her for pushing through. “Hey, beautiful,” I greeted her, wrapping her in my arms as soon as she was close enough. Her small frame melted against me, and for a moment, i

    Nicole 💜 The morning had been rough. Anxiety had twisted knots in my stomach ever since I woke up, and I could barely eat anything at breakfast. Chemistry had always been my hardest subject, and today was the exam I dreaded most. No amount of late-night studying seemed to help; it all felt like one big blur. But Alex, in his usual calm way, had been there to reassure me, his words soothing the panic that kept threatening to bubble over. His belief in me, the way he kissed me before I walked into school, gave me the strength I needed. I clung to that kiss, to his voice telling me I was going to be okay, as I sat down in the exam room and the test paper was placed in front of me. I took a deep breath, trying to settle the nervous flutter in my chest. You’ve got this, I told myself, echoing Alex’s words. You’ve worked so hard, and you know this stuff. Trust yourself. The clock ticked loudly, but I didn’t let it get to me. I started by skimming the entire exam, a habit I’d develo

    Third Person ❤️ It had been two weeks since Alex and Nicole had officially become boyfriend and girlfriend, and life had never felt more exciting for the both of them. Every morning, they would meet up before school, sharing small, intimate moments that were filled with whispered promises and soft kisses. After school, they would spend their afternoons together, either catching up on their individual projects or sneaking in moments just for them. By night, they were inseparable, talking until the early hours, sharing every detail of their lives with each other. On weekends, they would retreat into their own little world, away from everyone else, just the two of them. But despite their new relationship status, life didn’t slow down for either of them. Alex had his final college project to work on—something that demanded hours of focus and research. Nicole, on the other hand, was preparing for her finals. The pressure was mounting for both of them, but they somehow managed to carve

    Alex 🖤 I looked down at my baby girl, who had already drifted off to sleep against my chest. Her steady breathing, soft and rhythmic, was the only sound in the quiet room, and I couldn’t help but smile at how peaceful she looked. Her long lashes rested gently against her cheeks, and her lips were slightly parted in the cutest way. Even in sleep, she clung to me, her tiny hand curled around the fabric of my shirt as if afraid I might disappear. Earlier, when I saw how jealous and insecure she had been over that girl in the parking lot, it made me unhappy. Not because of her feelings—those were natural—but because I hated the idea that she doubted my love for her, even for a second. Nicole was my everything, and seeing her so vulnerable tugged at my heart. That’s why I’d decided to set up this entire evening—to remind her how special she was to me, how much she meant. I wanted her to feel cherished, adored, and absolutely secure in the fact that I was hers, and only hers. The for

    Nicole 💜 As I approached the parking lot, I spotted daddy's car immediately. His sleek black sedan was hard to miss, and usually, the sight of it sent a thrill of excitement through me. But today, my emotions were all tangled up, and that familiar excitement was nowhere to be found. I quickened my pace, my eyes darting toward the passenger window where a girl was standing. My heart sank the moment I saw her. She was leaning into the car, wearing practically nothing—her shorts barely covering her thighs and her top showing way too much skin. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I didn’t need to. The flirty smile on her face and the way she leaned in toward Alex told me everything I needed to know. My stomach twisted into knots. Why was she here? Why was she talking to my Alex? My daddy? A bitter pang of jealousy shot through me, stronger than I’d ever felt before. My hands clenched around the straps of my backpack as I got closer, and I could feel the warmth of anger ri

    Alex 🖤 As I pulled into the parking lot of the campus , I couldn’t stop thinking about Nicole. She had this quiet, almost innocent power over me. It was hard to describe, but it was there in every look, every touch, and every smile she gave me. Her soft kisses this morning, so shy and sweet, had completely messed with my head. I couldn’t think straight, couldn’t focus on anything except her. I parked the car and checked my phone. I still had a few hours before class, which was perfect because I had plans to meet up with Owen and Simone. They had been a big part of everything that had happened with Nicole last night, and now, I couldn’t wait to tell them everything. I needed to talk it out, to let them know how incredible it felt to finally be with her in the way I’d always wanted. I stepped out of the car, locking it behind me as I made my way to a café close to the parking lot. The café was buzzing with its usual mid-morning crowd. Students hurried in and out, grabbing their

    Nicole 💜 The soft sunlight streaming through the curtains gently pulled me from my sleep, warming the room with its golden hue. I stretched lazily beneath the covers, still enjoying the comfort of the soft and warm bed beneath me. My body felt heavy with contentment, and for a moment, I just lay there, savoring the peace of the morning. As I slowly stirred awake, the memories of the previous night flooded back into my mind, making my heart flutter and my stomach twist in excitement. _It all felt like a dream… but it wasn’t._ I smiled to myself, giggling quietly as the butterflies in my stomach danced around. I reached out instinctively to the side of the bed where Daddy usually slept, expecting to feel him still there. But instead, my hand met only cool sheets. He wasn’t in bed anymore. A soft pout formed on my lips. I had hoped he’d still be here beside me, his warmth wrapping me up, just like last night. Sighing a little, I sat up and looked around the room. The bed was empt
